Thanks and noted! dont mind paying a bit for a meal plan if it means cheaper housing. and dont really want to go in for an apartment considering it's just 9 months. sigh! just none months. i wish i had 2 years at harvard!!

Hey all just a reminder about lunch at Border Cafe at 2pm tomorrow! Be there or be square, Harvard Square that is  
(so cheesy it doesn't even make sense??)

I think this will work: HGSE 2013-2014, HGSE EPM 2013-2014
 
If the links don't work for whatever reason, those are the exact names of the groups and they are open groups so you should be able to successfully search for them on facebook (let me know if not!). 
 
 

Eh, whatevz. The cow already jumped over the moon, Bro Montana.
 
Oh yeah. I'm an adult. Making "Hey Diddle Diddle" references. w00t

hahahha!!! nice plan- let's become gold diggers!

Glad it was helpful! I think only about 6 master's students overall go directly on to PhD programs, but it is possible. Most people work for a year or two before reapplying- if you apply during your Master's the schools really base your admissions decision on the work you did before starting HGSE. I know career services dissuades people from applying right away but, in any case, your advisor will be brutally honest with advice.
 
Also, don't stress about housing! Like any major city, there is no point in looking for a place until the month before you want to move in. When you do look, most of us found housing through craigslist (I recommend using padmapper.com). My friends all live in Central, Porter, or Davis square and we each pay under $900 to live with roommates.

For those worried about how they'll pay back tuition at the Ed School, there's always the chance you'll find Mr. Right at the Med, Law or Business School. Guys from all three definitely crash the HGSE parties on a regular basis because they know dropping the HBS, HLS, HMS bomb is sure to impress. HGSE guys stay complaining about dudes from other schools poaching on their territory.

Well, Harvard, you got me. <waves white flag> I'm going on a trip out of the country today, and my internet access will be essentially non-existent. So, it's very likely I won't know anything about Harvard until I return in 10 days. I'm disappointed and anxious, but there's nothing I can do about it. I really thought we would have heard by now, but it looks like it won't even be this week, especially not with this blizzard today. (BTW - stay safe, Boston and Cambridge folks!)
 
To all my fellow GCers, whenever this crazy decision finally comes, I want to wish you the best of luck! I'm rooting for you all. It has been an honor and such fun sharing this experience with you and you all have kept me sane and laughing this whole time. No matter what school we attend, our futures are bright.
 
Have a great week!

Yeah, a lot of people from my office just took the day off. lol when I first saw it, I thought as well, so much snow! ...better report to gradcafe. It's probably going to be next week
 
...But maybe we'll get a pleasant surprise?

I tried to vote up your comment, but was told I have reached my positive quota for the day.  Apparently, they do not want me to share the love.  

At least we've all bonded and are in this together!

Mmm, cake is tasty.

I guess since no one's heard anything so far, we ve all been rejected! hurray!!!!

Coming back to what's important, has anyone on this thread applied to MEd in Human Development and psychology???

Thought I'd share some of the french toast I made this morning with my GradCafers! lololol
